MP-05 Megatron

Didn't see a topic for this yet, so I thought I'd start one. Megs will get the Masterpiece treatment although (at least here in the US) he will be modified to have the blaze orange tip on the end of the barrel. The article from BBTS is here http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

No. As was stated on that site. US Customs will confiscate any Megatron toys without that modification since it is illegal to import them into the US without those modifications. If they are discovered, they will be confiscated. Thus, you would never receive your order. Therefore, whether or not you like the idea of them being opened and modified, If you live in the US, this is the only way to get them legally.

ah i get ya, i guess bbts will try to modify the toy as little as possable, is it just importing guns or is it selling toy guns, i dont know if they could remove the gun end and post it sepratly if it was just a customs thing

Its selling, importing, manufacturing anything that resembles a gun at all has to have an orange tip on it. You'll notice that even Classics Megs has orange tips which I think is retarded because I don't think even the dumbest cop could mistake that thing for a real gun

if a cop is dim witted enough to mistake a varient colored nintendo gun for a real gun then he would most certainly mistake a classics megatron for a real gun.

hell even a brain dead monkey could do the math on that one.

just out of curiosity what exactly would a person have to do to either purchase said ordered figure back from the customs agentor at worst confiscate it back by force?

i refuse to use the word steal or stealing since the person who had the ordered figure confiscated would be well within his rights to swipe back that which is through payment of the ordered figure his in the first place.

and if at first peaceful arrangements can't be made if the guy can afford it hire the best damn lawyer in the country if thats what it takes and sue them for theft which is what the actions of the customs agents would be on the matter from a proper viewpoint.

you would be surprised when it comes to the justice system
as someone once said

"if you got the right lawyer we got the best damn justice system in the entire world"

i had problems getting mp prime through customs, it took about 2 months for them to check it was a robot truck, aparantly it was because he was so heavey , but looking at the megs proto i cant see any diecast on him so it might not be a problem
